Le Jardinier - Miami

Totally blown away by the food here. This cute location in the design district is definitely worth the stop. Our server was super nice and attentive. She was fun to chat with throughout the night. More than anything I was very impressed with the food. We came for dinner and got the chef's menu and definitely worth it to explore your way through the menu. The food flavors were better than some Michelin star restaurants I've been to in New York. Highly recommend. Burratawas to die for, so smooth. Sauces paired with the salmon are delicious.

Food was good, service was great. We had the Christmas Eve menu. Outdoor seating was ok. Located in a small mall

Attentive service complemented beautifully presented dishes. Whilst hours of preparation and thought went into each dish, they lacked taste and flavour.

I realize this may be a controversial opinion, considering this restaurant has a Michelin rating, but I found the food to be quite underwhelming. To be honest, it was mediocre at best. The only standout was the ice cream, which was surprisingly delicious for being plant-based. I'm debating between giving it 4 stars instead of 3, but when a restaurant is pricey and difficult to book, it naturally raises expectations.

The restaurant is decent overall. The service is average, the food is slightly above average but not outstanding, aside from a few exceptional dishes. The dessert was excellent. The prices seem reasonable until you see the small portion sizes, making them less appealing. Having dined at Michelin star restaurants, I can say this restaurant falls short in comparison. Additionally, a Michelin star establishment would not have chairs with noticeable stains on them.
